In my opinion Le Mans is the worst looking track, especially on the straights. If you stop and look at the trackside details, they look like something from the PS3 era: extremely low textures and polygons, mostly 2D trees and their textures are also horrible. They could've used trees from other tracks, but i think some of these are ported from GT6 instead. There's also a lake on the right before the 2nd chicane, but the water is looking very bad, nothing like on the other tracks.

Another bad looking track is Dragon Trail, mostly the vegetation and how it is lit. The texture on the mountain is also bad. The same problem is also available for Sardegna, where the 3D model of the mountain looks bad (it could have more detail) and also the texture is low res.

Saint Crox is also bland, nothing special about the details.

Deep Forest is also a big letdown on the fist sectors (before the tunnels). Instead of using more vegetation, they used big concrete walls, which make the track look bad. The portion with the tunnels is nice though.
 
I saw Bruno introducing Mclaren Solus and I thought this could be the real Mclaren Senna...

Performance is all over the place on PS4.

In GTS I can run a full 20 car grid in N24, Spa or La Sarthe and not have a single frame drop (at least not as bad and noticeable), while in GT7, which looks exactly the same as the previous game,
Can't agree here, played/playing both on my old Chunky PS4 and GT7 definitely doesn't look the same.
 
I think the constantly running weather and time system that the PS4 and Pro didn't have to deal with for GTS is what's causing the performance inconsistencies and LOD cutbacks.
 
I'm just happy the Cayman is finally got its road car variant. That's one less "wtf?" omission I can check off my list. Now gives us the C8 next and I'm golden.
I’ve had this same thought since the launch of GT Sport.

Cayman, newest Beetle, Bugatti Chiron (which the VGT was a teaser for), gen 2 R8, and M6 were the the odd omissions I remember.
 
So the Autobianchi A112 Bertone '69 just won the Gran Turismo Award at Pebble Beach. Cool choice, nice to get another Autobianchi some point in the future.
